- the LCD module 130 For mounting the LCD module 130 to the case 122 , the LCD module 130 is placed on the rear case 123 and the holes of the metal sash 136 and the ribs 123 a are fastened together preferably by screws 138 .
- the front case 121 is coupled to the rear case 123 .
- the front mounting method the way in which the LCD module is mounted to the case from the front toward the rear direction
- the assembled structure of the LCD module and the case made through the front mounting method is defined as the front mounting structure
- the ratio of the display area of the LCD module 130 to the fixed size of the case 122 is reduced.
- the front mounting structure may also include an additional feature to further support the LCD panel, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B .
- a conventional LCD device assembly 110 includes an LCD panel 112 , a back light device (not shown) for the LCD panel 112 , and a display case 122 supporting an LCD module 111 .
- the LCD panel 112 and the back light device are assembled by a metal sash 114 along the edges together with a plastic mold frame (not shown) supporting the back light device.
- the display case 122 is coupled to a body 120 via a hinge mechanism 124 , which may extend from the body 120 .
- the display case 122 and the hinge mechanism 124 allow the LCD device assembly 110 to pivotally move with respect to the body 120 .
